Great Western Short Coaches

Transitional Body Style, Single Arc Roof, Brake with 3 compartments



These styles of coach are classified by Lewis as LA4TN and LA7TN.

There was only 1 LA4TN design and no LA7TN coaches built. Built as 4 compartment Broad Gauge composites, just after being converted to standard gauge coaches they were given slip gear. When the slip gear was removed they were converted to 3 compartment brake thirds, diagram T30, by extending the luggage compartment into the adjacent compartment but the windows and doors remained in place.
